How to Cancel Subscriptions and Save $348/Year (2026)
Wondering how to cancel subscriptions? Here's the quick answer: log into each service, find the account settings, and hit "cancel." But if that sounds tedious, there's a faster way: BON Credit can scan your accounts and do it for you.
Why This Matters
According to a 2023 report by West Monroe, the average person spends $273 per month on subscriptions. Many of these go unused or forgotten, costing you up to $3,276 a year. Canceling the ones you don't need can save you as much as $348 annually.
The Full Explanation
Subscriptions are great for convenience, but they can quietly drain your bank account. Think gym memberships, streaming services, or app subscriptions you forgot about. Every small fee adds up.
Step-by-Step: How to Cancel Subscriptions
- Identify Your Subscriptions: Review your bank and credit card statements for recurring charges.
- Log Into Each Account: Visit the website or app for each subscription.
- Navigate to Account Settings: Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Billing" section.
- Cancel the Subscription: Follow the steps provided to cancel. Keep confirmation emails.

Common Mistakes or Myths
One common myth is that canceling subscriptions hurts your credit score. It doesn't. Another mistake is assuming you've canceled just by deleting an app. You must cancel through the service itself.
